Funny how things come in spits and spats...
Another weekend down... Sigh... another Monday to deal with... sigh!
we had a nice weekend... Saturday was a bit of cleaning, a bit of relaxing, a bit of PS2, and that was about it... oh... and a bit of visiting!
Sunday was very much the same i am afraid... but with a couple of exceptions... First whilst being plunged into hormonal hell... i noticed a plant sale at the back of a cafe... so i dragged myself in and had a peak, and low and behold, a lily white frange for $40! well established, and flowering... almost my height! There was no way in hell i was prepared to leave it behind... so i dragged the bastard tree all the way to the car to lee's amazement! (only 15 mins previous i had been close to killing anyone standing between me and the Napro and couch!
here is a photo of the sweet little plant!
We also not only had the pleasure of spending some time with the Boys, but Jason had treats galore for us!
You may remember if ever visiting us around Chinese New Year, that Courtesy of Star City we get a little hoard of Lucky Candy!!!! This is a major celebrity in our treat draw, and Last year not long after receiving the valuable stash, One 'Lucius Hopman-Cook' managed to get his greasy mitts on it, and the only trace left were stools in the yard, glimmering pink and gold in the sunshine!!! Wrappers and all!! Couldn't even get the full wrapperless taste, and still polished off the whole pack!! - now let that be a testament of just how special these lollies are!!!
We also got our Chinese New Year Chocolate coins, and The Creme de la Creme...... Crispy Kreme Donuts!
Its a good thing our new healthy lifestyle starts today, or we would be blowing up like balloons!!!
which leads me into the next topic of discussion... Our new Healthy living kick! Lee has been trying to get me to do the No Carbs Diet... but sparks without bread is just not sparks... and Vince just said that there is no medical proof that the low carb diets make any long-term difference... and that they have been trying to justify it for ages, and NADA!!! its a even balance in moderation that will do it!
So this is our aim... and to up the exercise.... (can you believe the rain looks like its going to throw a spanner in the work'out!!!!)
Mardi Gras is coming up... and there is the usual hype surrounding it... normally i can keep out of all of this, but not this year.. we have had calls from all over the world in aid of Mardi Gras Organization... and as usual, i am in no hurry to organise anything... bloody hell...!!!!
Still waiting for the Gore pipeline to clear... god only knows when that will be... if its in usual gore style, should only take 15months!!!
Have decided its time to go and get a skills appraisal from IT&T again...
Lee is her usual Bliss Bomb self... the poor thing has had sparkzilla to deal with while i have been hormonal... but thank god the angst has started to subside... The end/start of the month is always a little awkward in our house! Especially with all three of us at the moment!
Lisa comes back on the 13th Feb, and Skye gets back on the 12th Feb... We are very excited about this!!! Very Excited indeed!!!
I had lots more things to tell you all, but as per usual.... this has been written over the day, and as one thing pops into my mind, usually another gets knocked out the other side... will try and remember for tomorrow
